The fuel dock at Hodges Creek can be a bottle neck on weekends, in season. You will want to arrive at the fuel dock very early in the morning to avoid a waiting line. The charter companie's staff in Hodges Creek will assist with fueling and docking which helps.
I always try to moor out the last night, it is much more pleasant. If you have an early ferry or flight, that may be a different story........
Safe and enjoyable boating.

Boston said: So say you stay at Cooper how much time would you allow to sail back and get checked off the boat...while trying to make a 10am ferry ??? We stay at Cooper all the time for our last night. We start a bit early and just set the jib for the easy reach across the sound. It's a good time for a Bloody Mary. Your 10AM ferry is a deal-breaker for any place other than the dock. Can you change flight schedules, or whatever, to allow for a more relax return? If not, I think you are going to be dock-bound on the last night. Build in more time next time! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

I assume you mean Smith's 11:30 on Sunay. Theoretically that would work but of the 3 companies Smith's is currently the least reliable. Fallback would be RTFF at noon but if you are flying AA that would be cutting very close.
Be aware that STT on Sunday during the season can be a madhouse!
